"ahem....a drawback"

Now we can all see
when an old rose gets horny
that gals in Missouri
Might find that a bit 'thorny'

DALLAN....Their apickin'on me again...Hey Vince. have you noticed the sharp increase of poets on here.

You young'ens better hope it still works when you get my age. And without a crutch like viagra. "wait-a-minute dear...Gotta take this here pill and wait half hour for it to get.....".

Sorry Bushmaster, but I am happy to see that you take it so well.

I'm not exactly a spring chicken myself, every thing still works but nowadays it's comes as a pleasant surprise... not in spite of me!

Pickin' on ya? I thought our poems were meant as compliments, Bushy.....I thought you 'sensitive' guys liked poetry...

You will note that this rose has long thorns...And they prick...

4rum...If I want to be able to pick on you I have to be able to take the knocks that come my way or I'm out. Life is one ball after another. Besides guns, hunting horses and fishing, laughter is up there with the rest of my hobbies. Besides I'm proud of my age. I only hope that I can still be riding when I'm 92 like one of my riding partners. He's 94 now and can't ride, but he is still training horses and their riders...If this impresses you I'll find a link to who he is. Just for starters he was Vaquero of the year in California three times. The last time was when he was 90 and is one of the last of the Californio's. (he still likes the girls)

I heard this story.... kind of away from the original topic, but since we're talking about thorny old roses here....This fella was a friend of my Dad's, a close enough friend that my Dad named me after him. Now, I'm the youngest son and all my older brothers were named after relatives, uncles and brothers and whatnot and I always used to wonder why I got named after this buddy. Now, this guy was probably twenty years older than my Dad to begin with and the story I heard was that when the fella was 75 years old, he entered a bull riding competition at a rodeo in Saskatchewan on a $5.00 bet. Someone bet him that he couldn't do it, so he showed them. I can't account for the veracity of the story, it being second or third hand information, but ever since I've always liked to think that my old man saw something in that attitude when he named me after the guy!
Personally, I'm just shy of the big 5-0 and I'm looking forward to fifty more, be chasing my great grandson's girlfriends, I hope!!

I should think that it would go without saying that Mr. Yanez is counted as one of your most highly respected friends. That is a wonderful article. I have bookmarked the site also. Thanks for the introduction to a true speciman of real "cowboy".

If you are into some screwy horse ladies then that's the site for you 4rum. I was kicked off that site because I wouldn't keep my mouth shut about the site owner and her inability to ride a horse, but who bragged about her knowledge and horsemenship skills. She didn't know which end was the head and which end was the.......It just happens that is where it's easiest to connect to the link. If you look under "camp recepes" you might still find me...I don't know...I'll have go back and look.

Nope...She removed them too...Too bad. they were very good...

Ya know, Bushy....when you throw out comments like "screwy horse ladies" you're makin' it way too easy to come back with some pretty colorful commentary. I'm not even gonna go there this time, too easy too easy

Hey Bushmaster... stuff happens. I got thrown off a garden site fer pete's sake, for defending a ladies honor. That site since went belly up, but every Christmas I get home made candy!!!

tracker... you're all heart.

I can see that tracker spends too much time reading between the lines. Ya know, tracker...Ya gotta git yer mind out na gutter so mine can float by...

{Plenty of room there for both of us}

I see you fellows are giving Bushy a hard time ................... that's usually my job around here. But you guys are doing such a good job I won't have to. Keep it up!!!!!

I'm standing behind you Bushy ........ way behind you...... cause you sound prickly.

MR....DAALLLAAANNNN....!!!!
